birds. >> now would rather stay home, you can watch the philadelphia eagles here on fox, they take on the jets up at new york city sunday. but is this going to be a rough game? i think so. we've got three, actually, four major players, that are not able to play because of injuries. g cobb is in at a plan. i don't know what he has up his sleeve. it won't be easy. straight up 7:00. we have to investigate something. it looks like the back after squad car, but yet, you can tell she's out on the town looking like cookie from the empire show. >> empire premiere party, we said everyone should dress time press, so i decided to be cookie inspired. >> but then, late night came. >> oh,. >> and that happened. >> ya. >> we'll explain. >> different type of inspiration.

>> explaining to do, as we get started on your thursday morning, but no explanation needed for this. it is perfect. today is going to be a ten out of ten. it is a little on the cool side this morning. but sin we all thought yesterday was a ten, today's going to turn out very much the same, and we've got cool start, a the love clouds, sunshine, temperatures in the 50's, 60s, and that pesky southern storm that we will watch so carefully for the weekend weather, more details on that coming up. look at the gorgeous start, sunrise, official at 6:50, 58 degrees right now with a bit of breeze, about 5 miles an hour, some temperatures in the's to get started this morning, that he sweater weather for sure. fifty-eight in philadelphia. at the moment, a high temperature, how about this? 82 degrees, little bit warmer, than it was yesterday that takes care of thursday, can we keep this going for the weekend? short answer probably not. we will give you the longer answer coming up, bob kelly. >> 70:00; morning, the latest on this accident, involving

the septa bus open the schuylkill, some god news, moved it off to the shoulder here, westbound right near south street. i just heard from septa's heather red fun, she said it was a route g, g as in george bus, that was traveling west on the schuylkill when the vehicle cut the bus off it, make contact, however, no one on the bus operator not injured, no injuries to the driver of the car. all good news, except for everyone trying to get through the accident scene here coming from south philadelphia trying to get out into the city or out to conshohocken, your best bet use 95, and the vine expressway, to get around that delay. the only closure that's in effect right now same deal the last couple of days, ben franklin parkway closed both directions martin luther king drive, motorists push off at the vine expressway if you use the kelly drive, you're pushed off onto fairmount avenue. of course no parking restrictions remain here, in center city, a tip if you are coming into the city today,

take advantage of the parking garage, that that's where you want to park so you don't have your car towed. back to you. >> forty-eight hours from right now, we will be looking up into the sky looking for an airplane bringing pope francis to the great city of philadelphia. closures go into effect today. jenny joyce telling you thousand get in and out the sit for pope's visit. bruce gordon live in d.c. where the pope will address congress today, historic moment. why don't we start with that? hi, bruce. lots of antis paying, real ill the first of three important speeches he will give during the us trip clearly more political and current events in nature than purely religious, we'll show you the pope in action yesterday. he was out and about throughout the day, on wednesday, number of public events, but also spent time out on the streets in the so called pope mobile, watching and waving the crowds line the streets to catch glimpse

couple of cases and their children to have papal kiss or blessing bestowed upon their little one. but pom call nature of the visit already somewhat in view, at the very first event of the day. pope meeting with president obama at the white house, let's listen as the pope talks about his views, which of course helped with the president's on the fight against global warming. >> proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. >> the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem we can no longer be left to your future generation.

>> pope francis yesterday with president owe bamm, a the speech this morning will take place at 10:00. expected to run roughly half hour or so, do not be surprise today hear the pope touch on politically more controversial issues, he already touched yesterday on the controversial subject of improved us relations with cuba. during his time at the capitol, all of this staged right down to the last detail, will stop at statue area hall, the place where each. fifty states donates two statues of important figures in their states history, interestingly, the father, serra, just cannonize yesterday, one of the two california statues, pope francis will stop and quickly pay respects to the junipero serra, as he leaves the capitol this morning, after his address to congress, "el" stop at the memorial door, that he the location where back in 19982 capitol police

officers were shot and killed, during a violent incident here. the only time in us history that capitol police were killed defending the us capitol. so he'll stop briefly at that location, as well. later today it is onto new york, and a busy schedule there, as well, but before he does, we have already gotten word that he's decided to turn down a lunch invitation with congressional leaders, will lunch instead and in fact serve lunch we're told to some of the homeless community, in washington, d.c. so, a busy day for the pope. we will have that speech for you at 10:00 o'clock. should be fascinating stuff. >> for sure. thank you, bruce, so pope francis, isn't it in the lawmakers really wanted to go to lunch with i and so he decides to put up a big tent, and serve 300 homeless people. >> yes, he will be there. >> isn't that something? >> the speech will stand right where president owe balance a -- for the state of the union address, behind him, two catholics, john boehner speaker of the house and our vice president, joe biden? really special for boehner, because he's been trying to get a pope to come speak, for

20 years, finally it has happened. >> yes. >> bang here at home, security got tight nerve preparation for pope francis' arrival. >> for sure. have you seen all of the heavy trucks and vehicles all of the fencing? steve? >> mike, good spot for the pope parade here, because look, they got rised reviewing stands so be able to see over the crowd between the inner loop and outer loop where the pope will crews by, you won't be block by the trees, so you might get a wave in the pope or picture on your cell phone, so this is pretty good. plus, it is pretty close to the stage, but you can see still far enough away where greg is right next to a jumbo tron, one of the many. this is even the first jumbo tron from the stage, they expect this to be far enough away from the stage, where you won't be able to see what's going on at the stage, but from this distance you can still see the shape of the stage, and a lot of the stage still being built right now, looks like, they're just

starting this thing, based on all of the trucks still being delivered, whole lot of equipment still laying in the milted of a parkway, still whole lot of work to do before saturday and sunday, and sunday is the big day here on the parkway. gives them another day to build up everything here. but, dave schratwieser around last night, talking to some of the visitors, from out of town, and out of the country, and mayor nutter should hire this bishop from quebec, canada, who looked around town, and loved not just the city, but its people, based on everything he's met and seen during his visit. >> from what i've seen absolutely incredible, fantastic, the organization is stew pen dust, you know, the pope that comes, comes to bring us joy. and everybody we meet on the street is full of joy. so-so good, very welcoming, which is a great sign of the hospitality of the city of philadelphia, and everything

going on. >> security bother you? >> not necessarily. because i would suppose that it is for the country a great responsibility. and so they want to give it their all, and that goes through security, of course. >> leading to up it i thought there would be -- we would see a lot more security, a lot more of t we haven't seen that much. we've seen a loft police officers specially now leading up to the days, closer to the actual arrival of the pope. and, but, i feel very secure and very hopeful, and if it does happen it, will contain very quickly. >> so, a lot of security tents and hospitality tent on the gown, look, even on roof thomas, around the parkway and independence hall, and for hospitality, want birds eye view, and just the thought as i toss back, mike, alec, these pope francis pilgrims, being warned, they'll have to walk for miles, and i thought how different from the original

pilgrims? they take one step, all right, that's far enough. we're good. one step good for us. >> he can actually. >> yes, not a loft walking for them. >> thanks, hey, 7:10. let's talk about our eagles. big game coming up against the jets. talk to g cobb and our plan to beat the jets. >> another live look at the parkway, where pope francis will be celebrating that is in sunday. look at that stage, it is really going up.

it's intelligent enough to warn of danger from virtually anywhere. it's been smashed, dropped and driven. it's perceptive enough to detect other vehicles on the road. it's been shaken, rattled and pummeled. it's innovative enough to brake by itself, park itself and help you steer. it's been in the rain... the cold... and dragged through the mud. introducing the all-new mercedes-benz gle. it's where brains meet brawn.

>> we have a camera location, basically, right at the capitol building, in wash with a, dc. lockdown the washington mall. isn't that beautiful? and look at all of the people already. he's not even going to leave the vatican embassy until 9:00 this morning, that's almost two hours late. -- april way. >> not addressing congress until 10:00 o'clock. they're expecting tens of thousands of people to watch from the west lawn of the capitol. so they're already getting there, getting their spots. >> get there early, so we can have the same feeling this weekend here in philadelphia. get there early. well, the eagles will take on the jets on this sunday, we'll have it here on fox for you. and we hope they can play better but four key players injured. >> yes, gary cobb, just hoping we'll have some players to actually play it is tough, there will be some guys who will this game, insider linebacker position, demarco

had your how yesterday strange almost hamstring, mri today, problems, meaning, probably -- >> but gary, we node his 7 yards per game. >> somebody there in tech as saying guys that lose don't grow on trees. >> my god. offensive line, we can't blame him. >> they got to get their act together, know times you have to double team, you got single block, you got man to man. you zone blocking things like that. they got to communicate, if this has been garbage, totally unprofessional, the way they've played so far. >> so -- >> did you hear some of the falcons, some of the cowboys saying, you know what in the play calling was casino of predictable. we kind of new what they were going to do. >> a lot of times you have an idea, but, things are subtle, and the key is execution.

>> i don't think they know the place so well that they can stop them. it is horrible. throwing the ball all over the place, can't catch the stinking ball, you snow alex, could go out there and dot job better than these guys. >> put me in, coach. >> get out there. >> i don't know if you would want me out there. >> easy to say they just have to play better annex cute. >> you have to be focused. >> there are details. it is a detailed job. do you have do. >> i'm pretty darn impressed with the jets defense, though. they're two and zero. >> they look really good in their last game. >> it will be a tough game. >> yes. >> got to make sure, punt is okay, do not turn the ball over, eagles.

bradford, particular choir of the ball, if they turn the ball over -- >> what's so funny? you said put me in coach. >> i'm red. >> i but do. >> this let's do this. >> i'm ready. >> i'm telling you, let's go through the players that are injured. kiko, that's right, demarco, yes, and then is mychal kendricks okay? >> questionable. >> i don't think he's going to play. >> he might not play either. >> he says he'll play with the pain, won't play this week. >> no, but couple of weeks he'll be back. >> maybe you will have to go in, alex? >> you look pretty good in that helmet. >> here's my football face. >> shoulder pads on you and everything. >> i'm ready for. >> this eagles on three. >> i don't do it for free, i need a contract. >> five, 6 million. >> we got you cover. >> thank you. >> look at me in the face.

>> yes? >> are the eagles going to win the game? >> 1 percent of all teams in the history of the nfl that are going from zero and three to the playoffs. >> you know what? on that note then? >> you agree? you know what? great time being, the pope. >> we need a blessing. we need a blessing. >> pope? >> stay in new york and go to the jets game. >> real. >> i more important, just kidding. gary, good to see you. >> 7:17, looking at sue serio. >> this there ever were a time for a miracle this could be it >> as we get toward the weekend, whatever you're doing, whether staying in town, or visiting our town, welcome to philadelphia by the way, if you're watching, perhaps, in your hotel, anyway, here's the deal for saturday, sunday, we will be watching this low pressure system to the south. it will stay, far enough south, that we won't get heavy rain from it, it is how close

it comes, that's the key, to whether we get any rain at all. we will get the gusty breezes as we're inbetween the two systems, especially, on saturday, the winds are worse saturday, but the chance every rain increases sunday, you see the rain just getting into delaware, part of southern new jersey, possibly, hear in philadelphia. so, as far as weekend temperatures, we will be in the lower 70s, in philadelphia, on saturday, around 70 at the shore. >> still windy sunday, as well, 22-mile per hour wind gusts in the city so hole onto your hat. how about the rain? this is one of the computer models, and it is showing if we get any rain at all, .2 of an inch. that's not a l but it may be poncho worthy. papal poncho, of course. now, here's your general

overview of the weather for the weekend, because we've got the parade, we've got the festival of families, all happening on saturday. the festivals on the parkway, the parade, bob will tell but that route, through center city, and generally, low to mid 70s for the temperatures, and nighttime lows in the mid to upper 50's, that's that slight shower chance is more for sunday, than it is for saturday,. >> friday, saturday, few clouds, and monday, tuesday, wednesday, warming back to the 80s once again. soap, bob kelly, the parade is a big thing, i know you'll get to that route for us. >> yes, definitely that parade saturday, going to be a big one, probably the best chance to see the pope and the pope mobile, if you don't have a ticket, live look at the talcony palmyra bridge here almost complete with an opening that freight is her headed southbound, the love boat will not impact us for the rest of the morning.

>> bernie cat he will was dock. >> gofer, who was congressman in iowa. >> fred grandy. >> and isaac. >> and isaac the bar tender. >> who started the -- starred in the most episodes? >> jewel. >> i pick one. >> jewel. >> i jewely? >> captain stubing. >> lay it on. >> captain. >> yeah! >> 246 episodes. >> captain stubing, captain mc cloud. >> little star on your collar. >> thank you. >> everyone every us will be out on the parkway taking

pictures, what if everything shutdown? how some of the cell phone companies are making sure you'll have enough data, that you'll need, to take pictures of pope francis. because it could become a problem. >> more than take pictures, do you have up load them, mike. first, here is a look at last night's lottery numbers. ññ

slow, zoom out here, what you are ooh he a look g at right at the us capitol in washington, d.c., i'd say probably a thousand people, maybe, maybe 1500, that have gathered already. because the pope francis will be at the capitol, addressing congress, at around 10:00. that's the washington mall, you can see, all the way in the distance, to the washington monument. almost pick out the lincoln memorial, way in the distance. >> i think already seeing more people there. just check in here couple of moments ago.

yelled the music was beautiful during the mass. so back it the cell phone issue with the papal visit. verizon, at&t, spending millions of dollars apparently to make sure that you can use your cell phones so you can up load, download, send text messages. >> so lauren? >> hello. this is the first social media pope, right? >> everyone posting pictures, videos, on vine, on twitter, on instagram, what have you. this is superbowl for at&t and verizon, they need to make sure, only 20, 08,000 people in one spot, you got to think oh, superbowl time. make sure they can handle the traffic. spent each $20 million for the first ever us visit of pope francis. and so far so good talking to our friend in d.c., did not have any issues yesterday sending out messages or

picture, they said, video was little slow but still went out. >> lauren, did you see the pope when he came out of the embassy, all of the selfies being taken with him, and all of the pictures? >> yes. >> fantastic. >> but i have to say -- >> that's what they have to brace for. >> here if philadelphia i'm little worried. i went to made in america, that festival, that was make 50,000 or something like, that we couldn't send text messages, you couldn't up load anything. like so i know for this, i mean, a lot more people are expected, upgrade the network, booze the coverage for philly, let me know monday. >> yep. >> $23 million? i know sometimes the eagles games we have a hard time. so wow, 23 million. i haven't noticed any of the sites they put up.

>> you know what i like? oh, season two premiered last night and it was good one, jenn fred. >> guys, real quick, darwin walker is working on helping the eagles and other nfl teams get their cell phones, pretty cool. so, two things people are worried about, the pope, and empire, and empire did not disappoint. if you saw it at all, saw a lot of guest start, if you didn't see it, we have you covered. come on back, because we're talking empire, all morning long. and the pope.

>> the parkway, starting to take shape down there. that will be a very elaborate stage, alex. >> it really will. looking at the rendering what when was it last week? looked amazing, stowe see it coming together, it will be nice. >> will you get a papal poncho? plus we'll take to you dc. >> crowds already gathering outside the capitol for pope francis and his arrival this morning. here we go. another look, every time we check back, more people, it keeps growing. >> so true. almost all of the grass is gone now, he doesn't show up therefore another three hours, maybe goodness. >> after kicking off see the pope landed not yet, the day before yesterday, right?

>> like in the evening. >> so the third day, and on his third day in d.c. he'll make history. >> become the first pope ever to address joint meeting of congress. >> hey doug luzader, will you be there? >> well, not on the floor of the house, unfortunately, not a member -- or fortunately i guess not a member of congress. but, we will be out here. you see all of the people that have gathered out here, folks were waiting really from the we hours of the morning, to troy to stakeout a good spot, these are some of the hottest ticket in town. the pope is going to address congress, from the floor of the us house, but then he's going to emerge from the speakers balcony way up there, that's why so many people are out here. just to catch a glimpse of the pontiff. pope francis seems entirely comfortable navigating the streets of washington. even pausing now and then to kiss a child along the way, and wave to the fateful. >> just seeing him that close, could you see all his press

glens who doesn't want to see the pope? >> the pope had just come from the white house, where he had emerged not from the pope mobile, but from tiny fiat to greet president obama and speak to crowd of more than 10,000 people. at times he touched on political themes where he and the president share common grounds like immigration and climate change. >> climate change is a problem we can no longer be left to our future generation. >> will he bring that kind after message to capitol hill today? will he make church aspect of church doctrine? may instead stick to broader cultural themes. >> criticism of the culture of disposing of things, this culture of ours, that would have us dispose of things very easily, but also, dispose of people, the globalization of indifference as he's called it. >> for the pope this trip has

been whirlwind. politics aside, he also celebrated mass at the enormous basilica in washington. elevating junipero serra to sainthood, bringing catholicism to california. as we come back live here, outside the capitol, looking at the speakers balcony, that's where the pope is going to emerge, along with house speaker john boehner. that will will happen we think just few minutes after 11:00 this morning. and let's be honest, that's really why all of these people are out here. >> oh, yes. >> this is going to fill the national mall, or at least part of it, and they are expecting maybe 50,000 people, maybe more, who knows at this point. but it is going to be quite a day here, as the pope wraps up his visit. then ultimately heads to philly. >> okay. >> want to get that bless being from him. >> you know what's big, when you have a world's largest jib, that has camera on the end of it right behind your head there. >> how about that? >> that's huge. >> i guess you couldn't get any closer, you're up against

the fence. didn't get any ticket for the vip seats? >> we have ticket, but they actually kind of coraled all of the media in behind the fence. we one closer than -- >> as they probably should. >> got kick out. this is as close as we can get. you agree? still not bad seat to v and it is abut full morning out. >> so true. doug, great job again, see you tomorrow. clock 34. hey, sue? >> looking at bus stop buddy. because he's got nice view from behind his shades, yes, it is a sunglasses casino of day, even though we have quite a few clouds out there this morning, temperatures are in the 50's, and 60s for most of us. but few of us have temps in the 40's, we'll take a look at the map in a second. first we give you double digit for your number of the day, we go off to cool start this morning, we have a ten. we have precipitation to the south which we will watch very carefully as the weekend gets closer. 58 degrees, in the city. forty-eight pottstown. it is 48 in millville. 55 degrees in wildwood. but how about a high

temperature of 82 degrees? just a little bit warmer than yesterday. the changes in our weather are coming just in time for the weaken, we will track all of that coming up in just a few minute. so bob kill, what you got? >> traffic alert at the king of prussia mall. >> oh, oh, that get everybody's attention in the studio. accident 202 right at gulph road, right at the traffic light, for the king of prussia mall. anyone leaving say coming over the bridge there out of norristown, heading south on 202, only that far left lane is open there. otherwise, slow going on the blue route between route one and 95. accident, earlier accident, westbound, schuylkill, delays heading into center city. even a delay over here on 295, near the 42 freeway. starting tonight, 10:00 o'clock, the vine expressway ramps to center city here, eighth street, broad street, 23rd and the parkway, will be closed. so, the vine opens, but the ramps will be closed being, so no access into center city. going to the madonna concert

tonight coming home into center city, come right up broad street. because you will have no access off of the vine street expressway. question was the ben franklin bridge, we're open today, it is closed for vehicle traffic beginning tomorrow night at 10:00. and then keep in mind through the weekend, the folks on the jersey side, you have to put up with closure, too, all of the access roads, the on and off-ramps to the admiral wilson boulevard, the ramps from 30, 38, 07, 130, everything that goes into the airport circle, all of those ramps closed because with the bridge closure, no where to go. so expect delays on the camden side, they are allowing access for buses then of course the pedestrians walking up and over that ben franklin. they don't have an eta whether this will be open or not for monday morning's rush hour. i'm betting probably not until lunchtime. so, plan ahead for monday's morning commute. mike, alex, back to you. >> okay, it is 7:36. bob kelly, the queen of soul

range, that's what we are talking about, windy at the shore. nineteen, 18-mile per hour wind gusts sunday, so it will be a hole onto your hat casino of weekend. now giving you the forecast for some of the major events, pretty much everything is happening out of doors here in the city, in relation to the papal visit. 75 degrees temperature, saturday at 4:45, and independence mall, if you have tickets to see the speech, and then, when that speech is finish, is when the parade begins, bob kelly will give that you route, thinking the parade will start probably around 6:00. but again, it will be very, very windy, on sunday, it is also going to be very windy. 72 degrees, a lot of cloud, a slight chance of showers, and even if you get a shower it, doesn't look like it will be a deluge or anything, maybe a .10, .2 of an inch of rain. this is the system we have to watch very carefully to see what it decides to do ultimately. we'll watch ultimate doppler all weekend long, future cast for today, plenty of sunshine, clouds roll in tomorrow, and

you can see down to the southwest, some of the rain trying to get here on saturday. high pressure casino of keeping it away. it may not succeed all day, greater chance south and east of the city along delaware, the jersey shore, it is cool in the northern suburbs in the 40's, 58 in the city, 57 in wildwood. yesterday made it to the predicted 08 degrees, today we beat that with 82, we get back to those cooler temperatures on friday, we stay in the 70s, over the weekend, and really, those temperatures in the 70s are pretty comfortable temperatures for the folks spending a lot of time out of doors for all of those events, both saturday and sunday, whether you are coming from around here or if you came from far away, welcome to philadelphia. headed out the front door, schuylkill expressway little inbound, westbound the delay
